Yew Tree House presents as an attractive, well-built cottage from the kerb side on Fenny Lane. It is certainly that but so, so much more. Dating from the 1700’s, it was originally a farmhouse until the present owners in 2013 realised its potential. With a vision to create a home suited for its rural location and contemporarily equipped for the future, they extended and modernised the entire property, the result is a prestigious, bespoke four bedroom house in a prime location.The property is directly approached from the road and has a block paved drive at the side leading to double wooden gates. A car could be parked here but beyond the gates the drive becomes gravelled and leads to a double garage where there is ample room for turning and parking multiple vehicles. Fencing, mature shrubbery, hedging and native trees provide seclusion and privacy surrounding a landscaped garden to the rear of the house. Yew Tree House and grounds are deceptively large and while certainly appealing from initial observation, it is only when entered and explored that the size and beautiful interior can be fully appreciated: it is a surprise for all the right reasons.Roof tops and chimney stacks The house is traditionally built with red brick walls, rustic chimney stacks, cross gabled roofs and contemporary window frames. Within the oak and glass portico, there is an oak seat and the thresholds have been kept and reused from the original farmhouse. Slate floors are used throughout, including the patio outside the living room.Yew Tree House is built on two levels and has a cellar. There are presently four bedrooms – two with ensuite- a large bathroom, two reception rooms, a separate shower room and a generous open plan kitchen/ dinning/ living space. The house is tastefully decorated using coordinated features and materials of the highest specification. It is in a quiet location as Shearsby is reached from a branch road off the main A5199 and avoids through traffic. This is a delightful residence that has been cared for and nurtured to exacting standards and richly benefits from the rural charm of its position.Extended and improved to exacting standardsUndeniably, the house is impressively large and individual. On entry into the dining room, cottage features remain and the focal point is the open fire place. The exposed brick chimney and integrated oak shelving compliment the exposed beams overhead and create a room that mingles traditional characteristics with a contemporary style. Light permeates the ground floor ahead, as doorways have been widened and the length of the house can be seen with views of the patio and garden. Here, the benefit of singularly using slate flooring is apparent as it links the areas and the overall impression is of space and a relaxed airiness.Next door, the snug is decorated in a similar style but has a log burner. It retains its door and provides a cosy, private retreat away from the openness of the extended rear parts of the house: a perfect place to read in or watch the television. The hall crosses the house from the shower room to the right and the staircase to the left. The staircase is a bespoke fusion of steel, glass and French oak treads. It appears to float between levels and is cast in light from the thermal translucent glass block wall it rises against. The staircase leads to the cellar beneath the house which is suitable for storage and above to the first floor landing, where a feature beam runs along the width of the house and displays lighting. Directly opposite the staircase, a shower room is fitted with walk in shower, vanity unit and toilet. This enables the snug to be used as a fifth ground floor bedroom with convenient bathing facilities, if required. The bathing facilities throughout Yew Tree House are modern, stylish and well maintained. White suites are complimented with tiling to floors and walls, and high quality fixtures and fittings are standard. A modern living space with a focus on relaxed entertainingStepping down into the kitchen from the hall, the impressive open plan living space is organised into purposeful zones. The kitchen has an individually designed island for informal dining and a very large lounge area, presently arranged to benefit from a media wall and a wall corner log burner. Floor to ceiling translucent panes of glass along two elevations begin here – the master bedroom suite is immediately above – and full height bifolding doors that open onto a secluded patio area. The central island houses an induction hob, a sink with boiling water tap and waste bin cupboard. A curved Corian worktop provides seating for eight people and a full height wall of cupboards includes a small pantry area. Further worktops permit food preparation and spaces for equipment while integrated appliances such as a fridge freezer and eye level electric oven and steam oven are also included. A wine rack, two large larder cupboards, a double door cupboard for coats and a feature bookcase made from French oak includes two large cutlery drawers and completes the designer kitchen.A separate utility/laundry room is accessed along a glass corridor and provides additional room for grocery or appliance requirements. It is fitted with a sink unit, cupboards and plumbing for a washing machine and condensing tumble dryer. There is a separate toilet and hand basin next door. To the side of the patio outside of the living room, the corridor presents as a wall of glazed glass and hides the rooms within but means that the facilities are within easy reach. This corridor leads to the double garage which is currently used as a gym. It has an alcove suitable for a fridge and freezer, and hooks for coats. Electrically operated garage doors allow its original use to be recommissioned but a single steel side door equally permits other options. To the first floor and views of the gardenThere are four double, carpeted bedrooms on the first floor. The master suite to the rear, has patio doors opening onto a balcony. This permits views over the sedum roof of the garage/gym and garden beyond. It is a particularly luxurious room and has a vaulted ceiling, a fully glazed gable end and a pair of integrated wardrobes. Its large ensuite has spiralled glass partitioning, a walk in shower, toilet and vanity unit. The bedroom across the landing shares similar views, while bedroom three is to the front. This double aspect room looks to the village green, renowned for its preservation as an original feature of the village landscape and protected by residential ownership to remain unchanged. The remaining fourth bedroom is fitted with integral wardrobes and has an ensuite consisting of walk in shower, toilet and vanity unit. The substantial family bathroom is equipped with a large quadrant shower and corner bath, vanity unit and toilet. As with many aspects of this property, the bathing facilities have been totally renewed, redecorated and accessorised to a high specification providing beautifully designed rooms with white suites, contemporary lighting and pristine tiling. All curtains, light fittings and carpets on all levels are included within the sale of this property. Wander through the gardenThe garden is another beautiful asset of Yew Tree House. From the roadside it would be difficult to appreciate the length of its plot or the variation of the landscaping included. It is well stocked with herbaceous borders and specimen trees, including a white mulberry, laburnum and many acers. An artificial turf lawn, patios and walk ways have been incorporated, and a bridge leads over a natural pond to the largest southwest facing patio and barbecue area. The dining area looks back to views of the village and there is a hot tub. Beyond this partitioned space, a shaded garden leads to a further vegetable garden with raised beds, a fruit cage, cold frames, a green house and sheds. Location The beautiful village of Shearsby is set in the South Leicestershire countryside approximately 9 miles South of Leicester and equidistance to Lutterworth and the medieval market town of Market Harborough, which both provide extensive facilities and a range of independent boutique shopping, restaurants, bars and hotels as well as supermarkets including a Waitrose. Recreational activities are plentiful for all age groups with nearby golf courses including Ullesthorpe, Lutterworth, Market Harborough, and Kilworth Springs. Situated between the two towns is the innovative Kilworth open-air theatre set under sail-like canopies within the grounds of Kilworth House Hotel.Although protected as a Conservation Area, Shearsby is by no means dormant – it is a lively, active and busy community with the Village Green, the Old School House converted into the village hall, St Mary Magdalene Church and The Chandlers Public House forming the heart of the village.The area boasts an excellent standard of schools, with the local primary schools at both Arnesby and nearby Gilmorton. As well as a good range of state secondary schools in nearby Lutterworth, private schooling is available nearby at Rugby School and Leicester Grammar School (Great Glen).

The resulting transformation is an outstanding detached house that along with many other features, provides three reception rooms, a spacious kitchen and breakfast diner, and a ground floor guest suite with five large double bedrooms across the first floor.Established residential area The house is located within a quiet residential area of similarly unique, characterful properties and benefits from little traffic by being atop a cul de sac. Kerb appeal is immediate. It is fronted by an open plan arrangement of paving, discreet planting and a wide drive that winds to the front and side. It is undoubtably a statement property. Characterful features include an intersecting and overlaid hip and valley roof, with dormer windows and an impressive apex window. Anthracite window frames and white rendered walls create expectations of a modern interior, as everything about the exterior-including the new roof complete with replacement fascia, soffits and guttering- establishes the impression of sharp, clean structural lines. This is enforced by the symmetry of the open weather porch, shielding a composite front door, and matched with a pair of translucent glass panels.Vehicular access is unhindered and there is ample parking. An integral single garage is immediately to the right of the property and access to the main house can be gained from here, through a downstairs washroom. The garage is equipped with overhead lighting, a store cupboard and power. The tour of the ground floorThe house has been totally renovated and enlarged to prioritise light, airiness and space. From the first step across the threshold, the interior structural elements and decoration speak of an intrinsic simplicity and beauty through the choice of textures, fixtures and fittings. This is a generous property that reflects minimalism, great design and decisions made with high quality as standard. The residence is in every way, uncluttered. Unhindered lines of sight and a neutral colour palette, provide an interior décor that is the blueprint for free flow contemporary living, and the central point of convergence, is the entrance hall.The hall’s stunning apex window and vaulted ceiling is a major feature. It adds warmth, light and a volume of overhead space that encourages the visitor to look upwards to appreciate the white balustraded, carpeted staircase and gallery. This executive home has been renovated with an exacting level of detail and attention to the fixtures and fittings. The property is coordinated throughout with matching doors, skirting boards, switches and LED ambient lighting. Fitted blinds cover most windows and most can be operated with a remote control. In the hall there are deep set windows on each side of the entrance.Optimised open plan living The open plan kitchen diner is to the right and measures nearly a third of the internal downstairs area. Covered in large porcelain floor tiles, it is an extensive light-filled room with dual aspects, and incorporates many stylish features, seamlessly running from one purposed space to another. Beginning with the breakfast room, the window has a front aspect. It is presently used as an informal sitting area but however it is used, it is within sight and easy conversation of those in the kitchen. The versatility of this space is an asset.Beyond, the kitchen is amply fitted with soft closing wall and floor non-handle units, an expanse of work top across one wall and a central island with sink and three built in USB points. A large lantern sky light allows light to flood into the food preparation area and onto the integrated appliances including a microwave cooker, separate AEG oven, food warming drawer, wine coolers, a fridge freezer, an induction hob with extraction and a Quooker tap. Two large, fitted pullout waste drawers, a dishwasher, plus large under counter storage cupboards, complete the fully fitted kitchen which was recently installed in 2023. The central island, also houses room for stools, and who would not want to sit in such a wonderful room and admire the views through the bi-folding doors? They fold back to allow the raised terrace to become an extension of the room. This is ideal for entertaining and provides immediate access to the landscaped, private garden.A landscaped garden The garden is a continuation of the open plan scheme. It is a secluded, well-maintained garden and incorporates terracing, shrubbery, planted beds, hedges and trees. A sheltered summer house and green house with raised beds provide interest for keen gardeners, while a large, grassed area is perfect for children to play safely. It is by clever and practical design that these lovely outdoor areas are seamlessly linked to optimise space for maximum functionality, whether for everyday living or those special entertaining occasions. Reception roomsThe pantry and utility room are to the right of the kitchen. With additional storage, work top and sink, space is available for a washing machine and vented tumble drier. The utility room has access to the garden and is next door to a room presently used as a study. It has two windows looking into the rear garden. Leaving this room and walking back into the kitchen, a boot room is discreetly located in the hall and then a hallway links the remaining ground floor reception rooms and guest suite.Both reception rooms are spacious, easily cater for different arrangements of furniture and have patio doors opening to the terrace. The sitting room is particularly bright, as it also has two large picture windows. It is carpeted and fitted with coordinating blinds and curtains. Likewise, the lounge has curtains. This room has a wood effect laminate flooring and a large fireplace, displaying a slate hearth, oak mantel and black gas fire. The reception rooms share an internal window.The guest suite and first floor bedroomsBefore ascending to the first floor, the ground floor has a valuable asset that has yet to be investigated.

Stately and tranquil Within the conservation area of Church Lane, in the charming Leicestershire village of Desford, The Old Rectory is located behind an imposing brick wall, sitting in private grounds boarded by mature trees and gardens. Originally built in the 18th century, this impressive period property has had Edwardian renovations and as its name suggests, has been intrinsically linked to the history of its neighbour, St Martin’s parish church. The house and grounds have been the place of church fetes and social gatherings for decades. In 1981 it became a private residence, and the present owners have lived in the house since 2016, continuing to maintain original characteristics and add sympathetic features of the twenty-first century to enhance and improve the property. It is centrally located and is a beautifully positioned detached property with five generous bedrooms - two with ensuite facilities – set amidst its own land of 1.26 acres. Its striking silhouette is outlined with an array of dramatic chimney stacks and intersecting hip, and valley rooves, while classically proportioned sash style windows headed by castellated brickwork present a grand, bespoke property of size and refinement. Renovated Carefully improved to retain its distinctly traditional, quintessentially English style, the renovation work has included a complete rewiring, replacement gas boilers, radiators, windows and doors. On its ground floor level there are five reception rooms: a study, lounge, sitting room, dining room and conservatory. A large island kitchen is complimented with a utility room, and two staircases lead to the first-floor bedrooms, family bathroom and balcony. The house has a vaulted wine cellar and near the house, a luxurious swimming pool complex, with gym, storage and shower room. The property has gardens planted and arranged to create themes and within the grounds there are several separate outbuildings. Through iron gates and along a sweeping drive From Church Lane, entry to the property is along a driveway that sweeps towards the house and a double garage that can be opened electronically. The garden is beautifully landscaped and includes open spaces, hard landscaped walls, patios and walkways, themed areas filled with plants to evoke the English country, Japanese or Mediterranean terrains and even a fairy glade for the young at heart. A large, fish stocked lake is adorned with a bridge and a cascading fountain. The double garage is the first in a collection of outbuildings that offer space, storage and functionality. Fitted with lighting and power sockets it is next to a shelved storage building, a workshop and lastly, an extended potting shed/greenhouse. Over the threshold The main entrance of The Old Rectory is white rendered and has a wide glass paned porch below a first-floor balcony.

Desford LE9Desford is a village situated in the south-west of Leicestershire, benefitting from all the merits of its countryside location while also being close to motorway and rail networks that crisscross this east Midlands region. It is only seven miles west from Leicester’s city centre, with its multi-cultural restaurants, theatres, museums, galleries, rich retail selection and attractions such as the King Richard III exhibition. From Desford, the closest motorway links are the M1 and M69 toward Enderby. There are train stations at Rugby for links to Birmingham and Narborough for links to Leicester, with trains running regularly from there to London St Pancras International. East Midlands Airport (EMB) and Birmingham Airport (BHX) are the closest airports. Desford or ‘Deor’s Ford’ was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 but is possibly of Anglo-Saxon origin, being based on a significant hill 400 feet above sea level. St Martin’s parish church dates from the late thirteenth century and the village centre has a selection of Grade II listed buildings including a timber framed manor house and service buildings from the 1600’s. The Baptist Church on Chapel Lane was constructed in 1866. All combine to mark the centuries that have passed in Desford, including the present development of homes. The original settlement predates the Norman Conquest. In one of many Enclosure Acts of the eighteenth century the predominant farming community were forced to become invested with industrial economics and then, with the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, came the railway. A railway station was built linking established lines to larger towns and cities. It was closed to passengers in 1964 and then to freight in 1984. A half winding wheel on Lindridge Lane is a permanent reminder of the era and today Caterpillar Inc. are a significant employer in the area, having repurposed the old Desford aerodrome. Today, the bustling village is part of the Harborough district of Leicestershire and is within a half hour drive of Enderby, Kirby Muxloe, Market Bosworth and Kirkby Mallory. Although it has existed for centuries, this large village continues to appeal to the community through a wide selection of sport, (Sport in Desford Clubhouse with new Scout hut and tennis courts) education and leisure amenities. There is an array of shops, a library, cafes, a pharmacy and parks. Public houses include The Lancaster close to the old railway station and the Bluebell Inn in the village centre.
